QUESTION: What do most people say about the purpose of life?
ANSWER: Contrary to Christ’s command to “seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness” (Matthew 6:33) and Paul’s admonition to “Set your affection on things above” (Colossians 3:2), I suppose that most have adopted the thinking of the man in Luke 12:16-21 whose focus was on the material things of this life. Undoubtedly, unless repentance occurs, these will be included in the “many” of Matthew 7:13.
